Definitely. From what I’ve read, the CIA and military brass advised against this move because someone more aligned with the IRGC could be installed. Who knows what that will look like, but the Khamenei government was offering to honor the 2015 nuclear agreement. Next regime probably won’t be so cooperative.
Also wondering how this will change the plans and behavior of other big global players like China and India in the longer term. Preamble to WW3 or just a new era of heightened millitarism worldwide?
Especially with China. From what I’ve seen, they have advanced weaponry that rivals the USA/Israel along with a security agreement with Iran. Could be the beginnings of a new proxy war in the middle east. IRGC aligned proxy groups will also ramp up attacks in the region. No bueno all the way around.
